      DeGale knows how to break out of clinches and avoid head butts.
      Andre is good at both things!

      I got Ward landing a solid head butt or two. He really is good at it!
      Trapping his opponent right after!

      Still, I give Ward the edge!

        Ward would easily beat DeGale.

        Basic meat & potatoes fighter who has the spotlight now that Froch retired and Groves burned out.

        With that said, it's a hell of a lot better than every other opponent Ward is asking for.

          I agree Ward beats DeGale, but that does'nt change the facts. A few minutes of effort on your part will bring up articles from The Guardian, BBC, Dailymail, Boxing Forum24 and there are several Youtube videos of him calling Ward out as well, some going back to 2013. Its not some classified info those of us in fantasyland keep secret. So again, the real reason we don't know why the fight is'nt happening is because Ward won't even mention the guys name.

            Degale should move up to 175 to be Ward's tune-up.

              Not that it would surprise me one bit. Ward has turned down Bute, Kessler and Froch while taking on a murderers row of dishwashers.
              DeGale's manager said it, that Ward went for Rodriguez instead.

                Don't particularly like DeGale that much or Froch or Ward, its a terrible three in my opinion still I'm sure Ward can still make 168lbs.
                Bare in mind DeGale said he could make LHW that and Ward is insistent on bringing guys from 168 to LHW to feel at home?

                  He's at LHW and is exclusive to HBO.
                  It's a tough fight for Ward but one that he would win

                    I remember DeGale saying something a while back on the Sky Sports podcast. Something along the lines of a Ward fight being all agreed upon, but then Ward decided to face someone else. Something like that anyway.

                    It's a fight i wouldn't mind seeing. I think it's a while off now though with possibility of Ward Vs Kovalev next year.

                      Oh yeah. I know Ward went the easy route there. I was thinking after Degale beat Dirrell.
